FORMANCE OF Z-CAT 49

 Objectives of Application Z-CAT 49 in Power Plant Industry


Increase the fuel burning efficiency
 Coal saving rate up to 3%

Promote the combustion of inferior coal
 Alternative for lower grade fuel

Improve the stability of burning system
 Lower Ignition point

Reduce slagging and fouling tendency

21
 Z-CAT 49 Reduce Slagging & Fouling Tendency

Slagging & Fouling is due to high Alkali Metal (Na & K) that forms
low melting compound

Z-CAT 49 reacts with Alkali Metal to form higher melting compound

 NaAlSi3O8 has a melting point > 1,100oC

Notes: 1. Raw Coal; 2. Coal+Cat-1; 3. Coal+Cat-2; 4. Coal+Cat-3. Tp and tp : temperature and time of (dw/dt)max. Te and te: ignition temperature
and corresponding time. Tf and tf: the burnout temperature and burnout time. Df : The burnout index

 Z-CAT 49 Reduce Activation Energy
Activation energy is the least
possible amount of energy which is
required to start a reaction or the
amount of energy available in a
chemical system for a reaction to
take place.

Lower activation energy means

lover ignition point and more stable
combustion.
